Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    “Won’t you play a simple melody
    Like my mother sang to me—

    Play a simple melody.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
